lCopyight, 1887, by 1e California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 14th-[Special. l.
The Department of the Interior has under
consideration more liberal construction
OF the desert land law, by which lands OF
this class may be more generally taken
up, and the work of irrigation, which is
the absolute ard ultimate condition of their
reclamation, begun as early as possible.
The Senate. in formulating and finally
passing the bill repeating the Presumption
and Timber Culture Acts, made liberal addi-
tions to the desert land law. The House
favored the repeal of this Act, together
with the homestead and pre-emption laws.
An official of the Interior Department said
to-day:
{" Ii people are willing to go into the arid
belts and take up $40 acres of land, paying
what other folks pay for good, 81 25 per
acre, we are willing to give them all the
opportunities necessary to irrigate these
lands, which means the expenditure OF
capital. We are inclined to relax our pres
ent stringent rules and allow man liberal
entry of these lands. OF course. q mo-
nopoly or fraud will not be prevented, but
everybody ought to get at these lands who
in good faith buys and is determined to inn
prove them"

A Fortune of Ralf Million Dollars Goes
to a CoIored DaroseI

New YORK, June 14th.-The Tribune $
Atlanta special of June 18Th says: The
Supreme Court of this State to-day sus-
tanned the viii of David Dickson. This
makes Amanda Ebenbanks the richest
negress in America, with fortune of half
a million. Dickson, who is related 10 one
OF the best families in the State, was, before
the war one of the heaviest Shareholders in
the South, having on one plantation alone
800 negroes. Alter the war he was the
first prominent farmer to succeed under
the new order of things, and he ran up a
fortune of 100000. He died a bachelor,
leaving many white relatives anxious for
his property. They were disgusted when
they discovered that he left will by which
seven-eighths of his possessions were left to
his colored mistress and her daughter
Amanda. a fight was made on the will,
the principal point being that it was op-
posed to public policy to permit white
man to dispose of his property to his col
ored illesitimate children. The Supreme
Court rules that negroes have the same
civil rights as white people. and the will
must stand.

The Chicago Wheat Market Goes t.
Pieces and Ends in a Panic.

The Chicago Wheat Market Goes to
Pieces and Ends in a Panic.
CHICAGO, June 14th.-This was another
of those exciting days on Change that make
or break dealers and brokers. The panic
OF last Saturday was repeated in the wheat
market, and many operators went down
before the storm. In less than five min.
utes from the opening of the Board July
wheat broke three cents. 1t opened at S3$
broke to S04, and continued in its down
ward course until 20 was reached. when a
reaction set in and gradually advanced to
79s for July.
A late- reaction set in and the July op-
| tiol- again declined. June wheat also
plunged from 921 to S64. The excitement
was intensified by the collapse Of the coffee
corner in New York and the enormous
wheat receipts paid this morning, which
were reported to be about FIVE hundred
thousand bushels.
After II A. NJ. the wheat market. after
tiuctuating between 794 and 7as for some
time, finally went all to pieces again, and
July closed for the morning at 75 and June
at TAI. The clique houses apparently lost
their hold on the market, and the crowd
became utterly demoraiized. Panicky
news kept coming in from other points and
the morning session closed with almost a
panic. The failure of one of the leading
clique houses, Moritz, Rosenfeld & Co,
was announced a few minutes before the
close, and it is feared that other failures
may follow.
The closing prices at l P. NJ. were
Wheat, cash, 744c; July, 75c; August, TIC.
Decentralization and financial disaster

The wheat pit was in q panic for an hour.
The June option dropped from 923 to 722.
1t was the most sensational collapse seen
IN this market in its history. The 16.OOO.-
900 bushels of grain collected here and held
by the mysterious combination, of which
nobody knew anything, to certainty will
now De sold out under the hammer"
The losses of Moritz, Rosenfeld d Co. on
the decline will probably amount to S4O0,-

OF Peter McGeoch & Co, and will entail

colored, convicted of murder in the first
degree, had the death penalty affixed be-
fore Chief Justice Wright to-day, for the
murder of Clevenger and wife in Nav.
1886. The crime was committed for the
purpose of robbery, in the Buckskin
mountain, near the Utah line, and on an
unfrequented road in a thinly-settled sec
ton. Six months after the commission of
the crime, the first party passing through
was forced by an accident to his wagon 10
camp near the place of the murder, and he
discovered an arm and hand of Clevenger
protruding. Both bodies were found to be
wonderfully preserved, and were fully
identified, which led TO the detection of
johnson. Cleyenger, who was formerly a
prominent resident at Camp Thomas, was
en- route TO Washington Territory. The
murderer took Clevenger's 14-year-old
adopted daughter and forced her to live
with him as his concubine until arrested
in Idaho.

this hostility and suspicion, and prove that
